Valuing Differences

Unfortunately, human nature tends to be pre-disposed to judging people based on one element of diversity. This thinking leads to making decisions about what a person can or cannot do, BEFORE giving them the chance to show you what s/he can or cannot do.

Bottom line, one must believe that each member of their team deserves to be treated equitably; that regardless of the dimension of diversity, the person is of value.

Successful leaders are able to deal effectively with a variety of people of all races, nationalities, differing abilities, etc. They are culturally competent.

Your success as a leader is directly related to your ability to tap into the highest potential of ALL employees. That means being very intentional in "leveling the playing field" so everyone has the opportunity to be their very best.
